Wow, I love that you've made this genuinely funny and not just crackfic funny. And it's so in character for Snape to manipulate an absurd situation into a way to get something he wants - I love the implication that there's a sense of humor lurking under that snarky exterior. I also love that Remus is more snarky and manipulative than the whiny, passive-aggressive version of him that I often see. Very nice.
